ESL TUTOR KICK-OFF MEETING We have a wonderful team of enthusiastic tutors who have signed up, and we'd welcome even more of you! Please come find out all about it at our kick-off meeting. We will explain the ESL path for students through M-A, and a noted ESL educator will give advice for tutors beginning work in the classrooms. Tutoring begins the third week of September. YOU CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! Email Linda Fornaciari and Marla Stark for more information. |
We have an ongoing need for volunteer tutors to help with this very valuable program.
Volunteer ESL tutors work regularly with students in ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. This year over 40 dedicated M-A parents and local community members are tutoring during class, typically for one period per week, and after-school with homework. Most of the students are relatively new to the U.S., and all face huge challenges in tackling high school in a new language and a completely different educational system. Volunteers give them an opportunity to practice English conversation as well as offer individual support for their classwork.
- Prior tutoring experience is not necessary.
- Familiarity with a second language is not required.
- Tutors will focus on reading, writing, vocabulary and conversation.
- A variety of time slots are available according to the different teachers' schedules.
This is a fantastic opportunity for parents to get involved in a very constructive and rewarding way, working directly with students and teachers. For freshman parents, it's a unique way to get to know M-A.
